Mylan’s EpiPen discounts are ‘insufficient’ -Clinton spokesman

WASHINGTON Aug 25 Mylan NV’s move on
Thursday to expand discount programs for its EpiPen allergy
treatment was welcome but not sufficient, a spokesman for U.S.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said in a
statement.

“Discounts for selected customers without lowering the
overall price of EpiPens are insufficient, because the excessive
price will likely be passed on through higher insurance
premiums,” Clinton campaign spokesman Tyrone Gayle said. “Since
there is no apparent justification for the price increase, Mylan
should immediately lower the overall price of EpiPens.” (Reporting by Susan Heavey; Editing by Mohammad Zargham)
